It’s that time of year again! Time for the best fellowship and fundraising event of the year!!  Please join use on  Saturday, November 2nd, at 5pm, in the St. Matthew’s Parish Hall for the Wine and Cheese Party & Silent Auction!  
For the fellowship part, all you need to bring is a beverage of your choice to share or keep for yourself (and it doesn’t have to be wine – all spirits and family-friendly drinks are welcome) and a snack to pass (remember, this is not a meal but munchies to go along with the beverages such as veggies, cheese and crackers, dips, etc.  Bring your famous snack and be prepared to share the recipe!).  In the past, we have come up short on food items, so please be generous.
The fundraiser part is actually a two-parter!!  You can participate in part 1 or part 2 or, my favorite, both parts!!
Part 1: Donate an item for the Auction
This can be a bottle of wine (hopefully with a funny or embarrassing name) for individual auction, an item for a Chance auction, or an item for the Silent Auction – or all 3 of course.  Items can be purchased, homemade, or services that you could provide for a modest cost. Even gift cards to your favorite store or service would be a great item.  Please be sure to let us know what the value of the item is so we can note that on the bid sheets and establish a starting bid.  These items may be dropped off at St Matthew’s anytime the office is open, on Sunday, or call me and I will pick it up from you.

Part 2: Bring cash or your check book and bid often and bid high
Watching the bidding wars on items is the most fun of all.  There will also be tickets to buy for the 50/50 Raffle and the Chance Auction. Remember, Christmas won’t be that far away and there will be wonderful gifts right here!
Feel free to call me, Gail Jones, at 315-491-3999. Can’t wait to see you there!!
